Early exit polls are, indeed, meaningless. I remember the consternation personally witnessed in the Bush campaign in 2004 when those numbers were leaked early. It was an exhausting evening, turning from dread to a jubilant victory party.

But those early exit polls tend to weigh toward Democrats, possibly because so many don’t work and vote earlier in the day than Republicans. Hope that holds this year.

yeah but that was around noon. These are pretty mature exit polls for early polls.

The people taking the polls at the voting places are usually college kids. They tend to survey an inordinate number of people their own age.
